Arbaeen is one of the world’s largest religious gatherings and a major event for Shia Muslims. People from all walks of life and nationalities have begun their journey to Karbala for the 2025 Arbaeen March global event. The rituals are annually held days before the occasion of Arbaeen, 40 days after Ashura Day, when Imam Hussain (AS) and his companions were martyred in Karbala.
